Now Accepting New Applications

All families must complete a new application for 2018-19

Current Recipients: New meal applications MUST be turned in for all recipients each new school year — even if you were qualified earlier in 2018. If you qualified last year, look for the new applications we mailed earlier this month. Please complete and submit before the first day of school.

New recipients: Please complete and submit before the first day of school. Be aware that if you do not qualify now but later have a change in your situation or income, you may apply anytime during the school year.

Our Nutrition Service Staff is available for assistance or questions, 667-7469 on Monday-Friday from 7am-3pm. We are located at 1242 E Best Ave, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814

Free & Reduced Priced Meal Application

Children may receive free or reduced price meals if your household’s income is within the limits on the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines. Your children may qualify for free or reduced price meals if your household income falls at or below the limits on this chart, which reflects gross annual income.

New Students

New students to Coeur d'Alene School district will need to bring money for meals or bring a sack lunch until their family application is processed and approved. Although we have ten working days to process a meal application, our goal is to process your application as soon as possible. Also, new students to the district must have an application on file to eat free or reduced meals, even if their brother or sister has been free.

Meal Applications

We Respect Your Privacy

All information on your application is confidential and will only be used for the meal program, unless you request to release the information. Student computer accounts look identical to cash paying students, so no one can tell what the status of any student is. We respect your privacy.
